With a warm Labour Weekend forecast, a large group booking on Saturday, with the outdoor area open, including the hydro slide, we are expecting Kiwa Pools to be busier than usual throughout the weekend. Outdoor is open between 10am - 6pm Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Our team has scheduled additional lifeguards to ensure safety remains our highest priority. We ask all visitors to be patient, kind, and respectful to both staff and fellow pool users as we enjoy what is shaping up to be a fantastic weekend.
A Few Important Reminders
🏊 Child Supervision Requirements
Children under 12 years of age must be actively supervised by a person aged 16 years or older.
Children under 5 years of age must have a caregiver in the water with them and remain within arm's reach at all times.
🚭 Smoke-Free and Vape-Free Facility
Kiwa Pools, including all outdoor areas, is a smoke-free and v**e-free environment.
If you wish to smoke or v**e, you must leave the pool complex.
To assist with this, we ask visitors not to carry ci******es, va**ng devices, or related products within the facility unless they are exiting to use them.
🚗 Parking
Please only park in clearly marked parking spaces.
For overflow parking, we encourage visitors to use Churchill Park, located in front of the old jail.
☀️ Sun Safety
If you are making the most of our outdoor spaces, please remember to wear a hat, apply sunscreen regularly, and stay hydrated.
Enjoy the Weekend Safely
We encourage everyone to have fun while remaining safe in and around the water. For further information about Kiwa Pools, programmes, and facility guidelines, please visit:

Finally, we are looking forward to opening the outdoor toddler pool on 1 December. Following recent monitoring, we have determined that the water temperature is simply too cold for our youngest swimmers before then, and we want to ensure the best possible experience for little ones and their families.
We look forward to welcoming you to Kiwa Pools this Labour Weekend and hope you enjoy everything our facility has to offer. 🌞💦

The Kiwa Pools Team
